Uncle Matt’s Organic organic orange juice company, and MegaFood whole food dietary supplements, are teaming up to offer consumers nutritional supplements sourced straight from the grove.
The partnership between MegaFood and Uncle Matt’s Organic is the first of its kind in the supplements industry. The strategic alignment between Uncle Matt’s Organic and MegaFood helps give consumers one more way to get the benefits of whole food vitamin C, all from a trusted source.
The new line of “Non-GMO Project Verified,” vitamin C products, Ultra C-400 and Complex C, are made with in-season, freshly harvested, 100 percent organic Navel and Hamlin oranges ––free of synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers grown by Uncle Matt’s Organic. The supplements are rolling out to MegaFood retailers nationwide this March.
“We’re thrilled to add Uncle Matt’s Organic to our family of farmers. Uncle Matt’s Organic is a company equally committed to providing only the most wholesome, natural produce possible,” says Robert U. Craven, chief executive officer of MegaFood. “Now, with our vitamin C supplements, we can offer consumers a product that’s direct from grove to tablet.”
Since 1973, MegaFood’s FoodState nutrients and supplements have been derived from fresh and local foods from trusted farmers. The company’s one-of-a-kind SloFood Process™ delivers the most authentic nourishment– much more than vitamins alone. Uncle Matt’s Organic is a fourth generation, family-owned business that advocates stewardship of the soil as the means to producing the healthiest, most nutritious, organic crops possible. The result is orange juice offering a fresh-squeezed taste and gourmet quality without additives, artificial flavours or preservatives. In addition to orange juice, Uncle Matt’s juices include apple, grapefruit and lemonade.
“Uncle Matt’s Organic believes that food is the best way to nourish the body, both inside and out. We’re thrilled to be able to help give consumers one more way to get the benefits and nutrients found in our quality, organic citrus,” says Matt McLean, CEO and founder of Uncle Matt’s Organic.
